Good luck to those students who are competing at the Minnesota History Day competition tomorrow at the University of Minnesota. Twenty projects qualified for state competition at the regional level on March 23.
Congratulations to Taylor Toney, who has been named DeLaSalle’s ATHENA Award recipient. Taylor will be recognized at a lunch today in Bloomington. Taylor is a multi-year letter winner in basketball, track, and volleyball. As a three sport athlete for most of her high school career, Taylor received All Conference honors six times in three different sports as an Islander. She was also a member of the 2012 and 2013 state champion girls’ basketball teams. She is a quiet leader who is well respected by all of her DeLaSalle coaches.
Join the DeLaSalle Fishing Club this weekend and drop a line in the river. The Fishing Club will meet in front of school on Saturday at 9am and fish off the Island river banks. Bring your own fishing gear. If you are 16 or older, you need to buy a fishing license; licenses are sold at most gas stations. There will be prizes for biggest fish and most fish caught. And the Island is a safe zone so Juniors and seniors are safe from Assassins. All are welcome to join us. Email senior Francis Samuel with questions:
Tomorrow, we will host our 15th annual Starry Night prom for people with disabilities. More than 1,200 guests from the greater Twin Cities area will enjoy an evening of music, fun, and dancing. Over 200 DeLaSalle students have been involved in the planning, preparation and training that is required for such an event. This is entirely volunteer, no Christian Service hours are awarded for participation – so these students deserve to be applauded. Due to the importance of the training and preparation, only those students who have participated on the committee are allowed to attend.
If you are interested in serving as a retreat team member for the 2015-16 school year, please complete this application no later than Friday, May 15. This team also serves as the Islander Welcome Crew and other student leadership throughout the school year. Thank you for your interest.
